Thank you all for coming along! Some important topics covered - plastics in healthcare, rationalising pathology testing &imaging, nitrous decommissioning and sustainable anaesthesia in lower resource environments 🌱🌍 #asm26akl
Dr Mary-Ann Fox BMBS FANZCA GChPOM@maffygirl.medsky.social · 4mo agoThe sustainability talk co-chaired by @archiecurium.bsky.social was packed with interested colleagues. Some shocking slides about our impact on the environment. Well done Archie!! @anzca.bsky.social #asm26akl
#Asm26Akl @anzca.bsky.social Environmental Sustainability Network Session: Up to 44% of pathology testing is unnecessary. Come on people. Time to rationalise. Time to do things better. Our planet, our future, our health depends on it.
#Asm26Akl @anzca.bsky.social Environmental Sustainability Network session: Time to decommission leaking hospital reticulated pipeline nitrous oxide systems. It’s a win for the environment and saves a heck of a lot of money. #climatechange #climatehealth @archiecurium.bsky.social

Dr Magpie@lightfootsj.bsky.social · 4mo ago#Asm26Akl More sustainability in action at the @anzca.bsky.social ASM! Medtronic have finally released a rechargeable McGrath VL battery. 1 rechargeable battery replaces 40 single-use chuck-in-the bin ones. Nice. Although @archiecurium.bsky.social won’t be happy until they have a reusable blade 😬

Offshore wind farms kill whales? (They don’t.) Electric vehicles catch fire more often than petrol cars? (It’s the opposite.) @christiandownie.bsky.social charts how PR firms disregard the public to spread misinformation on behalf of fossil fuel companies theconversation.com/pr-firms-are...
PR firms are spreading climate misinformation on behalf of fossil fuel companies. Could Australia stop them?
This week, Australian policymakers heard about the real and growing problem of climate misinformation. Stopping it would mean regulating the PR industry.

Colleges and universities are going way too soft on policing AI, Tyler Austin Harper argues. “Institutions of higher learning can abandon their centuries-long educational project,” he writes. “Or they can fight.”

Many have been glad to hear that NSW is finally stopping logging in the long-proposed Great Koala National Park. But in the fine print, the park's creation is "dependent on the successful registration of a carbon project." It's a perverse incentive that has enabled years of habitat destruction. 👇

Shared revenue from Australia's largest mainland gas project has dropped by more than 70 per cent in three years, contributing less than 1 per cent of the state's revenue this financial year.
